The 2011 PA congressional map created some of the most unfair districts in the country.

A landmark Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision found that our 2011 congressional district map violated the state constitution by denying voters their right to “free and equal” elections. The courts have now issued a new map with redrawn boundaries. Yet politicians are still fighting to keep our state gerrymandered—and we’re all paying the price.

Incumbents draw lines that protect their seats

Politicians feel safe—so they ignore issues you care about

Gridlock worsens in Harrisburg and Washington

People feel powerless and voter turnout goes down

We need to change this. For good.

We applaud the court’s decision—but redrawing the 2011 congressional map is only a short-term fix. Redistricting will happen again after the 2020 Census, and if it follows the same process as last time, the 2021 map is likely to be gerrymandered, too—regardless of which party is in power.

We can change that. Fair Districts PA is a nonpartisan, citizen-led group working to change the state constitution so we can stop gerrymandering in Pennsylvania for good.

Transparent

Accountable

Legislation amending the state constitution to create an independent citizens redistricting commission is finally getting traction in Harrisburg. But passage is not certain. A few legislative leaders in key positions are doing all they can to make sure a vote is never taken, despite a bipartisan majority of legislators and tens of thousands of citizens from all parts of the state who want this amendment to pass. Help us get a citizens commission enacted by signing our petition to the PA Legislature.
